“ For the people behind the DisOrient Asian American film festival, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, this increase does not come as a surprise. Its organizers say that within the Asian American community, there has always been a hunger for these stories. Pamela Quan, the executive director behind DisOrient, told KLCC that while mainstream Hollywood plays catch-up, independent filmmakers and festivals have always filled the gap left behind.”
I feel like it’s time to bring class politics back into “representation”.
The varied civil rights movements were started by the left. They got coopted by capitalists. It’s time to bring the left perspective back.
